Even when Im so far from Egypt it still has the ability to suck the beauty out of my life Listening to the songs of sheikh Imam used to give me a dose of hope after every bad-news day in Egypt and man were they many!!! The very simple very powerful lyrics and the voices of both Sheikh Imam and Negm were the perfect feel-good combination. Lately I started thinking, these people felt just like we feel now, they revolted and they sang and they were killed and imprisoned yet after all this time, since Abdulnasser till CC, nothing really changed in this country! Actually the only thing that changed is them! Negm, the legendary poet whose words were the anthem of Jan25 became a pro SCAF puppet and I bet if Sheikh Imam was alive hed do just the same! Even عبد الرحمن الأبنودي for example! Would you ever believe that the crazy old man praising Generals and chanting for a coup leader wrote these words آن الآوان ترحلي يا دولة العواجيز عواجيز شداد مسعورين اكلوا بلدنا اكل ويشبهوا بعضهم نهم وخسة وشكل طلع الشباب البديع قلبوا خريفها ربيع وحققوا المعجزة صحوا القتيل من القتل اقتلني قتلي ما هيعيد دولتك تاني بكتب بدمي حياة تانية لأوطاني The contradiction makes you want to stab your hands with a fork, doesnt it? The schizophrenia isnt only in Egypt. Have you seen شقائق النعمان play by دريد لحام? If you havent then you really should! Theres this part that I remember so well you can check it in this link youtu.be/XG_-dJ6K1JU Theres this specific part where he says المعركة مع أعداء الداخل ، هدول فئران السفينة، هدول بدن الوطن يصير رغيف خبز يرقض ونحنا نرقض وراه وما نلحقه! حتى مع كل لقمة نبلع قطعة من أحلامنا، ويبنوا ويعمروا من قهرنا قصور، خلو ياخدوا معن يعبوا الأكفان وينزلوا تحت التراب يشاركوا الدود Now Mr Draid, the writer of these words, is one of bashars biggest fans, he forgot his own words, it was all just a big act and we believed that he really spoke for us, we believed them all, Negm, Abnoody and Draid Its was all just a big act...
